Now that we know all the fabulous possibilities of the Garden Tower 2™ let’s get into how to get them started and thriving!
Should you use seeds or sprouts?
You can absolutely use seeds OR sprouts in your Garden Tower 2™! The only thing to keep in mind is to be aware of which plants prefer not to be moved once planted. Things like root vegetables, greens, and peas might not like being moved from one place to another. So for these, you would be better off using seeds directly in your Garden Tower 2™.
Pretty easy, right?? So, we know we can plant seeds and sprouts of many kinds in our Garden Tower 2™, and now there’s just one more question:
Does plant placement matter?
Since Garden Tower 2™ is a vertical garden, it’s natural for water to flow down towards the bottom. This means you want to keep any plants that need good drainage near the top, while your water lovers can be on the bottom. If you’re planting veggies, be sure you keep in mind how they spread as they grow. If you want leafy and compact plants, make sure your big spreaders are planted diagonally from each other so they have room. Then, you can plant the smaller guys in between! If you’re wanting to plant melons and gourds with creeping vines, set them in the bottom, and give the vines something to wrap around, like a stool or something cute with places they can grab on.
I hope this first part of my Garden Tower 2™ series has gotten you excited about getting one of your own!
